rif. 34739Drop-head title with coat of arms at head of text. London : Printed by Charles Eyre and William Strahan 1784. Foolscap folio 320 x 200 mm disbound pp 907-919 1 blank 1 colophon 1 blank; first leaf with toning to bottom margin else a fine copy. The Transportation etc. Act 1784 24 Geo. 3 c. 56 was an important piece of legislation fundamental to the establishment of a penal colony in New South Wales and subsequently Van Diemen's Land governed by New South Wales 1803-1825. 'The outbreak of the American Revolutionary War 1775-1783 halted transportation to America. Parliament claimed that ""the transportation of convicts to his Majesty's colonies and plantations in America . is found to be attended with various inconveniences particularly by depriving this kingdom of many subjects whose labour might be useful to the community and who by proper care and correction might be reclaimed from their evil course""; they then passed ""An act to authorize . the punishment by hard labour of offenders who for certain crimes are or shall become liable to be transported to any of his Majesty's colonies and plantations."" For the ensuing decade men were instead sentenced to hard labour and women were imprisoned. Finding alternative locations to send convicts was not easy and the act was extended twice by the Criminal Law Act 1778 18 Geo. 3 c. 62 and the Criminal Law Act 1779 19 Geo. 3 c. 54. This resulted in a 1779 inquiry by a Parliamentary Committee on the entire subject of transportation and punishment; initially the Penitentiary Act was passed introducing a policy of state prisons as a measure to reform the system of overcrowded prison hulks that had developed but no prisons were ever built as a result of the act. The Transportation etc. Act 1784 24 Geo. 3 c. 56 and the Transportation etc. Act 1785 25 Geo. 3 c. 46 also resulted to help alleviate overcrowding. Both acts empowered the Crown to appoint certain places within his dominions or outside them as the destination for transported criminals; the acts would move convicts around the country as needed for labour or where they could be utilized and accommodated. The overcrowding situation and the resumption of transportation would be initially resolved by Orders in Council on 6 December 1786 by the decision to establish a penal colony in New South Wales on land previously claimed for Britain in 1770 but as yet not settled by Britain or any other European power. The British policy toward Australia specifically for use as a penal colony within their overall plans to populate and colonise the continent would differentiate it from America where the use of convicts was only a minor adjunct to its overall policy.'

rif. 30755Despatch from the Right Honorable Lord Glenelg to His Excellency Sir George Gipps stating that the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury do not disapprove of the increase of the Police Establishment at Port Macquarie but suggest the apportionment of the expence sic between the Colonial and Convict Funds. No.3. Downing Street 14th October 1837 . and Enclosure to the foregoing. Treasury Chambers 7th October 1837. London : s.n. 1837. Single sheet 253 x 162 mm letterpress on laid paper watermarked 'J. & J. Town / Turkey Mill / 1832' printed on both sides; very light creasing and toning else fine. This separately issued British government circular reproduces two items of correspondence pertaining to the funding of the proposed expansion of the penal establishment at Port Macquarie New South Wales in 1837. The first is a copy of the despatch from Lord Glenelg Secretary of State for War and the Colonies to Governor Gipps dated 14 October 1837 informing him that the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury deem that any expenditure required for the expansion of the establishment should not be drawn from the Convict Services purse alone but rather that the responsibility for such costs ought to be shared by the Colonial Government. The reasoning behind this stance is elucidated in the second item of correspondence a copy of the communication sent to Lord Glenelg by A. Y. Spearman on behalf of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury dated 7 October 1837. Spearman writes: '. my Lords are not disposed to object to the arrangements for the increase of the Police Establishment at Port Macquarie reported in Depatch from the Governor of New South Wales of 1st November 1836 so far as regards the number or rates of pay of the persons employed; but as he has averted to the great influx of free Settlers to the fertile country in the neighbourhood of that Penal Station as forming one of the grounds for the increase it appears to my Lords that the additional expense should not fall entirely on the funds applicable to Convict Services but that a large proportion if not the whole of it should be defrayed by the Colony.' The circular was published in The Sydney Herald 15 August 1838. Trove locates no copies. unknown

Sm. folio 3 leaves BLACK-LETTER throughout with fine woodblock arms of William III on front cover and woodblock illuminated capital on first page of text; disbound uncut a remarkably crisp clean copy. 8 Gulielmi III.The death of Queen Mary in 1695 isolated William as an object of Jacobite hatred; the motive for his assassination being the stronger since his death would no longer leave her in occupation of the throne. In February James II moved to Calais and the Jacobite conspirators moved to action. As William drove home to Kensington Palace from his weekly outing in Richmond Park he had to pass along a narrow and muddy lane near Turnham Green. Here he was to be surrounded and murdered. This was the most serious of the several plots against him but the plotters' security was lax and on 24 February William announced in parliament knowledge both of the plan and of the proposed invasion from France.This act arraigns Sir George Barclay and a number of lesser Jacobites including Johnson alias Harrison Durant alias Durance Michael Hare Major George Holmes Philip Hanford alias Browne Richard Richardson John Maxwell Bryerly Plowden and Hungate.Conspirators already languishing in Newgate are named as Counter Major John Bernardi Robert Cassells Robert Meldrum James Chambers and Robert Blackbourne.
